Great review, Chad. I definitely notice the work you put into your production quality. From the transitions, FX, and even the in-depth details you shared in your video. Congrats on receiving the ultimate drone RUclipsr award………. An E-bike Honor! LOL…. Kidding. Good stuff!
Hi, Chad. I have the first f Generation XP 1.0 Step Thru and I still LOVE it! Of course, I added several accessories to amp it up. My eBike got up to a scary 31 MPH, but I didn’t like the feeling of going so fast 💨 on a bike. 😂 Anyway, some of my neighbors and friends now ride the LECTRIC XP. Thank you for sharing your LECTRIC EBIKE journey. Donna 🚴
@@ChadB Good morning, Chad, . Somehow, I deleted my entire response to you! I was saying, Thank you for your reply, and thank you for such a detailed and honest honest. I really enjoyed seeing the people ride the ebike for the first time. Especially, the first guy who really got the "gas off his chest" as my mother would say when someone wants to do something really bad. He took it for a REAL test run and gave it all he had. I think he's goint to get himself a LECTRIC. Thanks again, Donna Coastal Georgia
WoW for someone who isn't an expert on e-bikes, ( you are an expert on this bike for sure )I learned more from you than someone who calls themselves an expert. Thank you for the awesome review.
Great review! Thanks for allowing me to test it out. I definitely want to pick one up to ride to and from work during nice weather. My first time riding an e-bike, I was very impressed. Great job bro! 🤙🏾
I've watched a lot of ebike reviews. This one was so humble and laid back, and yet did provide information others did not, that I subscribed. P. S. Good choice on the music for the Buddy test
Loved your fun video Chad! We just got our 2 Lectric 3.0s. Waiting for the 110-115 heat index 😢to pass to ride them. Will be subscribing to your channel.
I think drone enthusiasts are naturally inclined towards e-bikes. That’s how I stumbled upon your channel, researching e-bikes. My channel is primarily drone focused, but I’m looking to get into e-bikes myself. Your editing skills are dope by the way. The lower wheel shot shifting from scene to scene was 🔥.
Thanks. The editing is something I always try to improve. Also I agree... Many of the drone channels out there are starting to incorporate e-bikes into their content. By the way, I'm very familiar with your channel. Been a subscriber for a few years now.
Chad that is a cool eBike! I just got one (not that one) last fall and look forward to getting it out of the shed once the weather breaks. They are really fun to ride and as you said, you can go places your car probably can't. I am ready to upgrade for a little more power and speed than the one I have now because my sister's eBike is FASTER than mine! LOL! Thanks for sharing buddy!
I bought this bike about 3 months ago, and also bought the rack and the 2 baskets. The bike is heavy, but once you out and about on it, the bike is really awesome, for the price, you get a great bike. Thinking of getting the Premium one as well.
This was a great non official review👍🏾 Dude the time you put in for these reviews is amazing along with the edits. Congrats on your new e-Bike. Keep up the great work, Chad.
A scooter and bike mated and here we have the lectric 😄 Not a fan of this style e-bike at all but great job on the review and nice to see the guys get involved.
@@ChadB They are definitely fun no matter how they look. My taste is different as is everybody’s so my not liking this style of e-bike is just my taste. Make the most affordable and reliable perfect car with a ugly grill and I’m not interested. 😂 Screw the bike…the review and how you put it all together was great. Worth the computer issues and headaches you had getting it done. 👌
@QC GUY Haha Yeah I see your taste with that sexy looking ebike you have. But just as in reality, the more sexy they are, the more money you have to spend for them🤣🤣 Thanks, the computers issues will always be a struggle with me.
I've had the 2.0 for two years and think it's great. The Lectric XP 3.0 is even better when you take into account the 4 major improvements...ie. more powerful motor (more torque), improved front suspension, new rear cassette/sprocket that eliminates most of the phantom pedalling in higher PAS levels and finally a rear rack that's welded to the frame that increases the maximum rearrack payload to 150 lbs (allowing a passenger to ride along). Biggest con are the brakes. They are not so great.
So of all the models you picked it was this one eh... Also holy your edits are crazy the channel has changed a lot since the new drones came out last year
Chad, Has anyone createde a video with instructions for making an alternative harness and managing their Lectric battery with a SkyRC IMAX B6AC V2 charger ??
My friend has this model and he's had trouble with his batteries. He's telling me that he only is getting two of the four cells charging they even sent him another one and the same thing is happening. Do you think it's something he's doing wrong?
Good job on the unofficial review, seems decent for the price. In my opinion it's for younger people than myself, I mean I would ride it but I don't think I would ride it enough to buy it.
I just purchased the Vitilin v3 with 750watt 32mph and it a men’s bike style opposed to the electric 3.0 which the frames looks like the female style, at $949
So if the rear rack can hold up to 150 pounds does that mean that your girl cannot be gravitationally challenged because if she is she can’t ride on the back I think that’s what that means
Don't waste your money if you are a senior.The bike weighs a ton.Therè built for short people.Then it's a hassle taking the battery out and putting it back into the cross bar.The key slot on the bottom of cross bar wasn't a good idea.
This video shows the reprogramming directions to turn it into a class 3 bike. There's another guy on RUclips that shows how to do it also named Jeremiah Macintosh
it was down to a Lectric XP or a Fiido L3, I chose the Fiido, great quality, LONGEST range available, prob 3 times the range vs XP, lighter, less problems, and lately vs Lectric, bettery QC.
@@ChadB The bike can be unlocked to 21mph, the battery is much bigger, Easy 60+ miles throttle only. Unlocked you lose prob 20% because there is only a 6 mph difference. It's a great little street bike. Fit and finish are excellent. Both bikes are good, but if you are seeking range, it's not even close. At 800 charges lifespan, it will last.
Nice video… But you didn’t mention how long it takes to charge. With you being a drone guy… we all know how long it takes between flights. Nice stuff… Don’t really have the money for this, but it is at a price point that has my interest.
@@ChadB Chad thanks for all the feedback, one more thing...so when you ride do you feel like your legs are not able to extend all the way? does it feel like a cramped ride or is it total comfortable? Would you still recommend this bike after having it as long as you have?
Your range test was pretty vague. You only tested (if I heard you correctly) using varying amounts of pedal assist. That is the problem. You can get very long duration if you don't use the battery at all, just pedal. But that means it is used as a non electric bike. I think you should have done two additional things : tried to quantify how much peddling you actually did, and more to the point, clock the distance with no peddling. The manuf. says 25 miles, but you should have put that to the test.
The first thing I said was that this was not a very in-depth review. This was more of an overview. Of course, you can get longer battery range if you don't use it. I wanted to show how it performed for ME using various levels of PAS. Most likely, people will use those levels when going longer distances. To get all the data you suggested, it will take more than one video. That's more of a dedicated video. None of the tests you see out there are scientific or conclusive.
I consistently get 25 miles. I weigh 155 lbs. I mostly ride in PAS 2 or 3 pedalling 50% of the time and throttle only 50% of the time. It's not so hilly where I live.
Great bike if you want to go slow and not that far. Lectric is overpriced. There's other options with a better, motor, battery, charger controller, brakes, display, pedals, saddle, lights, horn and warranty.
🔥Forgot to mention...Charging time on the 48V battery is around 4-5 hours from empty
Yeah and how long has the battery lasted you
Cuesss

I've seen a BUNCH of xp3.0 videos. Yours was absolutely the most enjoyable. Ty
Hard to believe this was your first e-bike review. You covered all the important points and skipped the trivial ones. Great job, nice bike.
Thank you
The editing had absolutely no business being this good. Great review!! Hopefully going to order mine soon, can't wait to cut down the walking commute
Thank you. It's a great bike...especially now that it comes with Hydraulic brakes

Thanks for this video! Your drone work is amazing and the overall production value is awesome. And, oh yeah, excellent insight on the e-bike, as well!
That’s awesome, Chad, doing the buddy test. Looks like you had fun doing the review.
Great review, I bought one a few months ago and haven't ridden it much. Every point you hit, I can relate to!
Great video and drone footage! Thanks for sharing. 😊
I've been looking at getting one of these, great review, thanks. I really like the drone throughout & at the cameos at the end nice touch!!!!
Thanks...glad you enjoyed it.
Best review ever. Lean & mean. Great videography creatively edited. And good info. Thank you! PS great channel!

Most satisfying unboxing ever! 😊
Thumbs up for overall production of the vid.

Biggest con are the brakes. They are not so great.
You think the brakes could be upgraded to Hydrolic?
@@Timber81 The 3.0 now comes with hydraulic brakes. No extra charge.
Would you consider this electric 3.0 for camping or a mountain e-bike like Mokwheel Mesa Plus ST this will be my first e-bike
How do I turn on the headlight
Good first bike review Chad.
Thank you
Great review!! New subscriber here ✌️
Thank you. Welcome to the channel.
So of all the models you picked it was this one eh...
Also holy your edits are crazy the channel has changed a lot since the new drones came out last year
Chad, Has anyone createde a video with instructions for making an alternative harness and managing their Lectric battery with a SkyRC IMAX B6AC V2 charger ??
I know the pedals in the Step Through are low to the ground. Have you had any issues on turns and the pedal dragging?
Thank you
Strap a crate on the back of that bad boy and I think you've got it made for doing some drone work in interesting locations 💪
My friend has this model and he's had trouble with his batteries. He's telling me that he only is getting two of the four cells charging they even sent him another one and the same thing is happening. Do you think it's something he's doing wrong?
Might be helpful to remove the battery when lifting the bike to lease the weight.
Great review. I’m currently in the market for a e-bike . I do t go nowhere crazy, basically bike trails or street. Do you recommend the 3.0 ?
Yes, I recommend it. It's a reasonable price for the features that come with it.
I've got the 2.0. Would like to trade up. There are MANY youtube reviews out there for those who want to go deeper. Thanks for this though, Chad.
How does it handle on the grass and gravel?
Handles pretty good. Feels good with the cloud 9 seat
Good job on the unofficial review, seems decent for the price. In my opinion it's for younger people than myself, I mean I would ride it but I don't think I would ride it enough to buy it.
Thank you. Actually, Ebikes are more popular amongst the older crowd from what I see on RUclips.
I’m 83 and couldn’t still ride on hills without peddle assist
I’m 87 and ride an e-bike.
That's awesome@@jamesbonham5383
Very cool do you get to keep it
Thanks Gene...they never said I had to give it back🤣
I just purchased the Vitilin v3 with 750watt 32mph and it a men’s bike style opposed to the electric 3.0 which the frames looks like the female style, at $949
Just want to note...The XP 3.0 come in "male" and "female" styles. But I've only seen the Vitilin V6 and that a nice ebike.
Drone footage is amazing bro! Who cares about the bike lol
What Benchmade knife is that?
The Barrage
That's a lot of packing! Lol looks good! 👌
That was the hardest part of the assembly...lol
@Chad B. I've been thinking about an E-bike. I will check it out, and use you affiliate link if I end up grabbing one.
Is it cadence or torque sensing ?
A cadence sensor.
So if the rear rack can hold up to 150 pounds does that mean that your girl cannot be gravitationally challenged because if she is she can’t ride on the back I think that’s what that means
Don't waste your money if you are a senior.The bike weighs a ton.Therè built for short people.Then it's a hassle taking the battery out and putting it back into the cross bar.The key slot on the bottom of cross bar wasn't a good idea.
Hahahaaaaa , Cousin Chad , with these Badddd Intros , haaaa , I want one ! Nice Chad !
Thanks Cuzo!
Bro I have the Lectric 3.0 and it will not go any faster than 19 Mph very frustrating!
This video shows the reprogramming directions to turn it into a class 3 bike. There's another guy on RUclips that shows how to do it also named Jeremiah Macintosh
What’s the top speed on just the throttle
18-20 mph with throttle only.
@@ChadB thanks
Can you ride the bike alone if the battery dies?
Yes, you can peddle and ride without battery power.
it was down to a Lectric XP or a Fiido L3, I chose the Fiido, great quality, LONGEST range available, prob 3 times the range vs XP, lighter, less problems, and lately vs Lectric, bettery QC.
Yeah, but that thing is tiny and has a top speed of 15 mph. Big battery + small bike with 350w = longer range. That wouldn't be good for me.
@@ChadB The bike can be unlocked to 21mph, the battery is much bigger, Easy 60+ miles throttle only. Unlocked you lose prob 20% because there is only a 6 mph difference.

Chad how tall are you? I looking at buying this bike, but need to know how it will fit me...I'm 5'11
I'm 5'10"
@@ChadB - do you have the seat and handlebars maxed out in this video or is there room to go even higher?
@Greg Freund just a little more than that
@@ChadB Chad thanks for all the feedback, one more thing...so when you ride do you feel like your legs are not able to extend all the way? does it feel like a cramped ride or is it total comfortable? Would you still recommend this bike after having it as long as you have?
I have a good extension of the legs. Unlike the new ebike I have to review

Young sir, try cleaning your brakes with alcohol, it will clean up the material that causes the noise from the brakes ❤.
Great bike if you want to go slow and not that far. Lectric is overpriced. There's other options with a better, motor, battery, charger controller, brakes, display, pedals, saddle, lights, horn and warranty.
Nice production, but 31 mph on a 500w ebike on a 70lbs bike 😂 😂 😂 not happening but great production 🙏🏾
Thanks. That was on a full battery. Was consistently getting around 31mph on speedometer and GPS at 100% battery.
The motor has peak power of almost 1000w and over 90nm of torque. So it can do 31mph easy.
Too bad it takes 20 years for them to actually send your bike
Give it time you will see how great it’s not
You should know that lectric bikes are NON RETURNABLE! Don't be me and get stuck financing a bike that quits working within 3 months
Total junk, but it doesn't matter because you aren't going to ride much anyway.
